Welcome to the new site!

Hey friends! Have you noticed that PD is looking a little lot different lately? I spent many hours on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday redesigning the entire site! Here's a little look at what's new:

{background} Clearly, it's white with bright yellow flowers! Isn't it adorable? I knew I wanted a background that involved both yellow and flowers, so when I found a bunch of paintbrushes for Photoshop, I knew I had to use them.

{welcome graphic} Again, I used one of those flower Photoshop brushes I recently installed and changed my sites tag-line. Cute, right? Welcome to the new color scheme: yellow, pink, and gray!

{social media buttons} I have long wanted these but I never wanted to take the time to make them! After reading this wonderful tutorial from Sweet Verbena on the creation of social media buttons and other fun blog things, I got right down to it. Aren't the flowers super cute? Clearly, I love flowers....maybe that's part of the reason I chose the name Passing Daisies, huh? :) Aside from site navigation stuff, the buttons include: email, subscribe via RSS, facebook, twitter, pinterest, and wellsphere.

{favorite recipes buttons} Scroll down and look in the right hand column, and you'll find some circular pictures of favorite recipes that I've posted. There were so many I wanted to make buttons for, it was difficult to choose! Let me know what you think!

{blogroll} I finally came up with a list of some favorite blogs and linked up to them! Maybe some of your favorite or even your very own site made the cut. Psst...wanna link back?! :)

I think that's all for the updates! It's a lot, that's for sure! Do you like it? I think it looks more professional.

In other news, I successfully completed week 1 of my Couch-to-5k workout. Hooray! I get to amp up the intensity next week, only by a little bit, so I hope I'm able to follow through. I always feel so great after running. And I've been extra exhausted recently - whether or not it's from running, I'm not sure. It could be that my late nights are finally getting to me. Maybe I'll go to bed a bit early tonight?

I love my miniature schnauzer, dark chocolate, and exploring new places. Life is fabulous - and so are you! Thanks for visiting!
